Okyeame Kwame, an award-winning Ghanaian rapper, has confessed that he only smoked twice in his life and stopped because it was a negative experience.
He wants to know what is going on around him, therefore he avoids anything that makes him feel intoxicated.
In an interview with Kwame Dadzie on Joy Prime TV, the “Rap Doctor” stated that he wants to be intentional about whatever he does and take responsibility for it without blaming anyone or anything.
According to the vegetarian musician, one of the things he has avoided is alcohol.
“I have smoked weed before; twice in my life. One, two. I didn’t enjoy it. This is me. I want to be conscious. I want to be aware. I want to know what is happening around me. I want to feel what is within me. So everything that intoxicates me I don’t like. So when I took it I became slow, and then I started hallucinating.”
“I don’t drink alcohol. I have tasted alcohol before but all the alcohol I have taken in 47 years, if I should put it in one beer bottle it will be life half. I don’t drink alcohol,” he said
When asked what keeps him young and healthy, he said it’s eating the proper foods at the correct times and exercising.
“My secret is first, I get my seven hours of sleep every day, beyond that in the morning, I do intermittent fasting so when I wake up in the morning I drink my water which has lemon or lime, then I wait until 10.30 am or eleven before I eat my main meal,” he noted.
He added that he also developed the culture of going to the gym and taking his second mean at 5 pm.
